RVZ03-ARGB REREDEFIEFINE SFFFF COMCOMPUTITING WITHWITH FLAIAIR Signature RAVEN styled front panel adorned with addressable RGB light strip INTRODUCTION SilverStone RVZ03 is a further evolution of the highly rated RAVEN Z RVZ01-E, a slim form factor case with tremendous capability. It has the same optimized interior that has room for a standard ATX (PS2) power supply and support for some the biggest consumer graphics cards on the market with superb air cooling performance. Designed for use in either vertical or horizontal orientation, it can be placed comfortably in any space-constrained environment that requires a powerful PC. For those looking to build a slim form factor PC with extra flair, the RVZ03’s inclusion of addressable RGB lighting and controller bring about another exciting chapter to the famed RAVEN series of computer cases. SPECIAL FEATURES Signature RAVEN styled front panel adorned with addressable RGB light strip Mini-ITX motherboard & ATX PSU compatible for wide array of building possibilities Support cards up to 13 inches (330mm) to fit most high-end GPUs for compute power far exceeding consoles Maximum performance in slim form factor with support for AIO liquid cooling Positive air pressure design for excellent cooling/quietness and dust-prevention Fits in nearly any environment with horizontal or vertical orientation SPECIFICATIONS Model SST-RVZ03B-ARGB (black), SST-RVZ03W-ARGB (white) Material Reinforced plastic outer shell, steel body Motherboard Mini-DTX, Mini-ITX Drive Bay Internal 2.5" x 3 Cooling System Top 1 x 120mm fan, 1500rpm, 18dBA Bottom 1 x 120mm fan, 1500rpm, 18dBA 1 x 120mm fan slot Expansion Slot 2 Front I/O Port USB3.0 x 2, Audio x 1, MIC x 1 Power Supply Optional PS2 (ATX) Expansion Card Compatible up to 13" (330mm) long, width restriction-5.88" (149mm) Limitation of CPU cooler 83mm Limitation of PSU 150mm* Net Weight 4.05kg Dimension 382mm (W) X 105mm (H) X 364mm (D) , 14.6 liters Extra Support Kensington lock, PCI Express riser card set x 1 ARGB control PCB x 1 * Maximum length for power supply is 150mm but we recommend 140mm deep power supply due to varying connector locations and the unique structure of RVZ03.

Check that all components do not have compatibility problems with each other or with the case. If possible, assemble the components outside the case first to make sure they are working. Keep the motherboard manual ready for reference during installation. Prepare a Philips screwdriver. Be careful not to strike on glass side panel when removing it from the case. 1 Unscrew the screws from the rear of the chassis then remove the top cover 2 Unscrew the screws from the graphics card support bracket then remove it 3 Unscrew the screws from PSU bracket then remove it 4 If you want to use SilverStone NT06-PRO or other similar CPU cooler, please relocate the top panel 120mm fan to the bottom vent near the graphics card area 1 2 5 Insert the I/O shield included with your motherboard then install the motherboard into the chassis 6 We recommend at this point connecting all the necessary cables including the SATA cables to the motherboard 7 Secure the PSU into the PSU bracket 8 Place the PSU bracket on top of the chassis then connect the power cord to the PSU 9 Insert the PSU bracket into its original position and secure with screws 10 Remove expansion slot cover and install graphics card into the graphics card support bracket 11 Depending on the design of your graphics cards, install and adjust the graphics card holder to a proper position to support your card. Adhere included rubber padding according to the height of graphics card’s backside, one (for 3mm thick backplate) or two (for no backside components) Included Foam Pad 12 Install 2.5" HDD/SSD onto the graphics card support bracket 13 Connect addressable RGB (ARGB) connector. Please refer to ARGB LED connector guide in later pages for more details 14 Install graphics card support bracket into the chassis and connect the power cord to the graphics card if needed 15 Make sure all the cables are properly connected 16 Place the top cover back onto the chassis and secure with screws 17 Depending on requirement or preference, adhere four rubber stands for horizontal use or install the rubber pads for vertical use. Corresponding RAVEN logo for each orientation are included for installation CONNECTOR DEFINITION (1) Front Panel Connectors Guide Power Switch Reset Switch Power switch and reset switch installation guide Please refer to the motherboard manuals for the motherboard’s “Front Panel Connector” or “System Panel Connector” pin definition Power switch and reset switch have no polarity, so they can be connected in any orientation LED indicators installation guide HDD LED+ HDHDDD LED-LED Please refer to the motherboard manuals for the motherboard’s “Front Panel Connector ” or “System Panel Connector” pin definition; the white/black wires are negative while other colors are positive wires (2) ARGB LED connector guide RVZ03-ARGB includes custom ARGB controller. It has dual modes that enables you to control lighting effect either via software (provided by motherboard) or hardware. Software control : A. To control lighting via motherboard, make sure it supports addressable RGB (+5V, D, G) signals on its RGB header. B. If you have other ARGB devices such as SilverStone’s own LS03 light strip or FG122 ARGB fan frame, you may also connect them to RVZ03’s ARGB controller, below are installation steps: 1. Flip the controller switch to “MB” mode 2. Connect motherboard ARGB signal cable to motherboard 3. If needed, use included extension cable 4. When connecting non-SilverStone ARGB products, make sure pin definition and connector orientation are compatible Hardware control: Utilizing the case’s reset button to change lighting effects 1. Flip the controller switch to “IC” mode 2. Connect other ARGB devices to RVZ03’s ARGB controller 3. When connecting non-SilverStone ARGB products, make sure pin definition and connector orientation are compatible 4. Connect the controller to power supply 5. Be sure not to connect case’s reset connector to motherboard as you are going to use reset button for changing ARGB colors and effects from now on 6. When PC is powered, press reset button on the case to change ARGB lighting effects (3) Front I/O connector guide Below are the front I/O connectors pin definition, please also check your motherboard manual to cross reference with motherboard’s front I/O pin headers.

Height limitation: The RVZ03 has 83mm height limitation for CPU cooler B. Upper boundary: the cooler can protrude 11mm over the motherboard’s top edge C. Front boundary: The clearance toward the front of the chassis is 4.2mm (2) PSU limitation RVZ03’s maximum depth for a standard PS/2 (ATX) power supply is 150mm, but installation of a 150mm deep power supply will require sacrificing a 2.5" drive space and no room for cable connection after installation. So if using a 150mm deep modular power supply, make sure to connect all cables prior to installing it into the case. Power supplies with depth of 140mm or less may have enough room to allow for cable connection after installation so we recommend using 140mm deep modular power supply with flat cables, such as SilverStone’s own ST75F-PT (3) Graphics card/expansion card length limitation iii 149mm ii 131mm i 111mm A. Length limitation RVZ03 can support 13" (330mm) consumer level graphics cards. Please contact us if you find a card that does not fit B. Width limitation (i) The standard width for graphics card is 4.38" (111mm) (ii) With the graphics card holder installed, the maximum allowable width for graphics card is 5.16" (131mm) (iii) Without the graphics card holder, the maximum allowable width for graphics card is up to 5.88" (149mm) i ii iii 3.23mm 34.8mm 68mm 32mm C. Thickness limitation (i) Calculated from the bottom of the graphics card PCB to the top, the total thickness limitation is 68mm (ii) With the standard 34.8mm-thick dual slot graphics card installed, the maximum thickness of the fans is 32mm (iii) The thickness of the components on the back of the graphics card is limited to 3mm in the area supported by the graphics card holder; the thickness limitation for the rest of the components is 10mm OPTIMAL THERMAL PERFORMANCE LAYOUT If you use graphics card with omni-direction or open air cooler, we recommend having two case fans on the bottom vents VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL PLACEMENT A.
